A well-marked and scarce Henry Nordhaus - Deming N.M. gun rig for a Colt Single Action revolver. The "Jock Strap" or pouch style holster, marked with a large oval cartouche on the body and the rectangle mark on the strap. The body is marked “.38”. The impressive, 4” wide, cartridge/money belt has both rifle and pistol cartridge loops, and is marked twice under the billet: "HENRY NORDHAUS / MAKER / DEMING. N.M." and stamped “Augt. 18. 02”. The billet itself is marked with the name, "W.E. BLOUNT" and ".30.30. & 38". It appears Nordhaus put the cowboy's name on his pieces, as the few that have survived all share this characteristic. Some loss to the finish and age cracking evident, but overall pleasing color and condition. The hammer strap is missing and the bottom sling at the muzzle is broken but still there. Bullet loops are solid and the clip edge buckle has some flaking to the nickel.
